AI 2041 Ten Visions for Our Future

The various uses of artificial intelligence are depicted in the futuristic stories that comprise this unique audiobook. One standout performance is Emily Woo Zeller's wrenching narration of "Contactless Love," in which we see the impact of isolationism in a fear-driven future. In contrast, the app-tracking AI in "The Golden Elephant" doesn't sound very futuristic, but Soneela Nankani's warm and hopeful performance is a perfect fit for the story. Fajer Al-Kaisi's exceptional pacing brings out the emotional tension in "The Holy Driver," a compelling story about car-driving gamers who plug into the metaverse to save lives. This audiobook features some terrific performances that make AI an entertaining and educational phenomenon. E.M.U. © AudioFile 2021, Portland, Maine [Published: DECEMBER 2021]
